In the sixth century, an Arab shepherd named Kaldi was secretly watching goats while grazing and became extremely excited when they ate the red fruit of a wild shrub under the hillside. Curious Caldy picked the fruit himself, and after tasting it, he found that he was full of strength and was in a very happy mood. So he took the fruit and ran to the nearby monastery to tell the monks about the magical effect. However, the monk thought it was the devil, so he threw the red fruit into the fire, and the fruit emitted a special mouth-watering aroma. While the chief monk fell asleep, one of the young rebellious monks collected the cooled beans, ground them into powder and poured them into a container full of hot water, and the world's first cup of coffee was born.
